I once described the US as a complex distributed system with an attack surface of 300 million people. Gullible LLMs are a new vector for attacking that system, one that targets the weakest links in the chain, the people who don't know enough not to distrust those handy-dandy “AI Overview" boxes in their favorite search engine.

It's also the case that the more untrustworthy LLM output becomes, the harder the people who have invested hundreds of billions in the tech will try to convince us that we must Trust the Superintelligent Machine That Knows Everything, and, indeed, to cut us off from competing knowledge sources. So we have that to look forward to. Anyway, TL;DR: artificial gullibility is a problem that's only going to get worse, so brace yourselves. /END
